About the Author

Reviews

`This is not just a fascinating and beautifully written account of the English Revolution; it is a classic, and treats of an important crux in the history of England and the world. If to read history is an appurtenance of the civilised mind, this is an essential book.'
A.C. Grayling, Financial Times
